History - Research

The award of the degree is based entirely on an MLitt thesis. However, to ensure that our graduates obtain as thorough preparation as possible for their future careers, the university has put in place a structured MLitt programme under which students in the Faculty of Arts, Celtic Studies and Philosophy take taught modules over the duration of the programme as agreed with the department.

For entry to the combined MLitt/PhD programme see https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/history/postgraduate Applicants must have a recognised primary degree which is considered equivalent to Irish university primary degree level. Minimum English language requirements: Applicants for whom English is not their first language are required to demonstrate their proficiency in English in order to benefit fully from their course of study. The requirements specified are applicable for both EU and International applicants. For information about English language tests accepted and required scores, please see https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/study-maynooth/how-apply/english-language-requirements Maynooth University's TOEFL code is 8850.
